Which event generated £45m from tourism?

• A. 2019 Portrush Open generated £45m from tourism
• B. The 2012 Olympic Games boosted tourism by £80m
• C. Wimbledon tourism impact was minimal
• D. Tour de France tourism impact in Paris was minor

Answer: (A)

Events generate tourism revenue when visitors spend money on hospitality, transport and local services during and around the event. The £45m figure is associated with the 2019 Open at Portrush, which drew many visitors to Northern Ireland and boosted local spending to that level. The Olympic Games in 2012 produced a much larger tourism impact (around £80m), so it doesn’t match the £45m amount. Wimbledon is typically linked to substantial tourism activity, not a minimal impact, so that description doesn’t fit either. The Tour de France in Paris also brings tourism effects, but described as minor, which again doesn’t align with £45m. So the event generating £45m is the 2019 Open at Portrush.
